A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 93 Daily life before Christmas

In the following days, Owen's campus life rarely became peaceful. There were no fax machines spreading spoilers, no magical animals running around the castle, and no Dark Lord messing with him...

Because Quirrell and Voldemort were busy dealing with the three-headed dog. Some time ago, Voldemort, who had plenty of money, seemed to have brewed a pot of potion to try to deal with the three-headed dog, but in the end he failed and was killed by the three-headed dog.

Lu Wei roared back. The deafening roar almost woke up everyone in the entire castle.

As a very rare and powerful magical animal, this three-headed dog has the strength and magic resistance of a 5X-level magical animal, and it only listens to Hagrid, making it a good choice for guarding. Quirrell and Voldemort both dreamed of figuring it out.

What is the weakness.

Owen naturally showed that he was trying hard to find out the news, and from time to time he went with Harry and the others to find Hagrid. Hagrid was sad since he sent away the Chimera and the five-legged monster that almost overturned Hogwarts last time.

It took a long time, and the scene at that time can be called a touching drama of life and death.

Fortunately, the bird snake and several other small things he left in the Forbidden Forest soothed his soul. Hagrid found another bird snake from nowhere and was very keen to take the little wizards to see it.

The little cuties in the ban. He will always be full of pride and take the trouble to explain their current situation to everyone, such as how many pounds they have gained, how they are feeling, or how much they have eaten today.

Owen showed a strong interest in this, and he was willing to get in touch with these magical animals. This performance made Hagrid smile and praised him for his future.

Harry began to show a keen interest in the things guarded by the three-headed dog, and was obsessed with getting things out of Hagrid. Because judging from the conversation they overheard that day between Snape and Quirrell, Professor Snape seemed to

Planning that thing, trying to force Professor Quirrell to figure out how to get past that big dog...

Owen could only say that Professor Snape was not very good at speaking human words. He was obviously a positive person, but his words were so ambiguous.

Harry was extremely confused about this and didn't know whether he should tell Dumbledore about it. In his opinion, although Professor Snape was usually gloomy, cold and eccentric, he was a good professor who cared about his students. Therefore, he planned to find out first

Let’s talk about what that thing is.

For a while, I ran out of ideas for this question, and Owen had no choice but to continue browsing the books in search of inspiration while preparing for his large-scale magic show.

As soon as he took a few steps, Owen saw a group of little witches harshly lecturing the Weasley twins from a distance. Because the two had enchanted some snowballs, making them chase Quirrell everywhere and beat them hard.

Hitting the opponent on the back of the head caused dissatisfaction among the little witches of the "Quillow Protection Association".

But Owen's research has reached a deadlock at this point. How to transfer the new evil thoughts to the Black Devil Guard has troubled him for a long time.

Since weaning, Melete has become more and more active, wandering around the Hogwarts castle day by day. Since she keenly discovered the location of the kitchen, she slipped in and was enthusiastically welcomed by the house elves.

After the treat, she became hungry and worked harder.

Fortunately, as a magical animal with magical powers, Melete is not as delicate as Muggle pets. She can drink milk, eat meat and vegetarian food. Cats and cats in the wild usually feed on mice, fish and birds.

They also eat wild fruits, but Melete has been with Owen for a long time and prefers to eat cooked food.

Melete raised her little head proudly and swung her long tail flexibly, not taking Owen's words to heart at all. She was so cute, how could she gain weight!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, Christmas was coming, and the semester was coming to an end. Owen signed the list of returning to school without hesitation, and he wanted to take the opportunity to visit the ghost lady Elizabeth.

Such a normally dressed young professor walked in Hogwarts and stood out among the professors, becoming the most handsome boy!

The little wizards were talking a lot. They all felt that Professor Quirrell had recently fallen in love. He decided to change himself for his lover and overcome his fear. Even in class, he was trying hard to stutter less. A bold little wizard asked directly in class

When this question came up, after Quirrell hesitated and avoided everyone's eyes, this conjecture became a fact in people's eyes.

Only Professor Snape was puzzled by Quirrell's changes. He was vigilant for a long time with the mentality that if something went wrong, there must be a monster. He watched Quirrell's movements suspiciously, and even the wrinkles between his eyebrows were squeezed out.

One way.

Mrs. Norris was frightened by the aura of the cat nives, but after seeing Mr. Filch slowly approaching, she became fearless again. After glancing at Melete with a very haughty look,

, she finished the last few dried fish in two or two bites, and ran to Filch in an elegant catwalk.

Owen turned the door handle and entered the Hogwarts kitchen. There were many house elves busy preparing food, and the air was filled with an alluring aroma of food.

Melete couldn't wait to jump down from Owen's arms, climbed up to the table with ease, and sat there proudly and reservedly, waiting for the elves to serve the food, but the swaying tail behind her back exposed her excitement and impatience.

A patient mood.

Mrs. Norris ate the dried fish slowly, her eyes narrowed with satisfaction, and her bright eyes looked at Melete with some fear and pride, as if to say: Look, your master still likes me more!

You are an unattractive cat!

Melete bared her bright white fangs angrily in Owen's arms, her two big ears turned into airplane ears, and her big tail danced wildly, slapping Owen's cheeks in pain.

The twins kept their smiles on their faces helplessly, looking at each other with grimaces, looking dejected, like Harry who had languished these days.

Kitten Nizi has been weaned and now eats more and more, her round body has gradually grown, and her limbs have become strong and slender.

"If you keep eating like this, you will turn into a pig sooner or later." Owen gently pulled Melete's big ears angrily. Although this little kitten is light brown, it has a bit of orange, which is very dangerous.

.

After pondering for a long time, Owen decided to take a step back. He realized that both the positive and negative sides were part of himself. Now that he had accepted his dark side, he did not need to completely isolate it. He also did not expect himself to

He can also get involved in the field of white magic, but he has been rejected by white magic anyway.

His initial idea was to eliminate the state of absolute sanity, but after many experiments on himself, he found that this was impossible. The reason for the emergence of absolute sanity was that the positive and negative sides of oneself were isolated. Owen tried

He only isolated his own dark side, but he soon discovered that once this balance of positive and negative was broken, the curse would no longer be effective.

The shabby robe on his body was replaced by a new one, and the purple scarf that had been tied around his head was replaced by a black pointed hat that firmly covered the back of his head. Even the weird smell of garlic that lingered around him all year round was gone.

It turns into a light perfume smell!

After opening up and talking that night, Owen's relationship with Ms. Gray became much more harmonious. He could often get some useful knowledge from Ms. Gray. Many of his inspirations for improving the mind separation magic also came from her.

she.

Mrs. Norris has gained some weight recently, and her dry and knotted hair has become shiny and smooth. She looks much more beautiful and cute, and her aura is a little more powerful. During this period, Irving often gave Mrs. Norris gifts.

He feeds her, helps her clean up her messy hair, and has successfully become familiar with her. Sometimes he can even pet her head and share his experience in raising cats with Filch.

However, a strange thing happened in Hogwarts recently. The eccentric Professor Quirrell, who had always been timid, changed!

He just asked Professor McGonagall some questions about transfiguration, and also took Melet to visit her brothers and sisters. After seeing that Melet was well raised, even her size was smaller than other kittens.

When he got a lot older, Professor McGonagall showed a rare expression of satisfaction and took out a Transfiguration Notebook and gave it to Owen.

Soon, many professors also learned about this matter. They witnessed Quirrell's changes, and they were pleased and deeply supportive. Occasionally, they would sincerely encourage him when they met. Professor Flitwick also enthusiastically helped him support him.

Zhao, claimed that he was a heartthrob when he was young and fascinated many beautiful witches.

Therefore, he only needs to ensure that his mind will not continue to be corrupted by black magic, and that he will not let the malice in his heart spread unchecked. In Owen's view, maintaining the status quo may be the best result.

On the way back to the lounge, Owen met Ms. Gray who was standing in the corridor admiring the snowy scenery outside the window. The two stood by the window and chatted for a while. Since the last ghost festival, there have been more ghosts coming and going in Hogwarts.

When you get up, this place has become a communication center for ghosts.

After determining the direction of improvement, he quickly achieved initial results.

Under the expectant eyes, Owen and Melete had a full meal, and then said goodbye to the elves in a good mood. On the way back to the common room, Owen also met Mrs. Norris, and as usual

He fed the other party some dried fish. Melete looked at this scene arrogantly, like a superior queen overlooking her subjects.

In the next few hours, the angry kitten Nizi kept looking at Owen with cold, arrogant and dissatisfied eyes, as if he could no longer coax him, as if he was accusing Owen of his crimes with his eyes: You all have me

Yeah, why are you always thinking about other cats!

It wasn't until she felt hungry again that she started to pester Owen and act like a baby...

After learning it, Owen entered the experimental stage without hesitation, and the experimental subject was naturally himself in the wall-facing space.

After adjusting his condition, he entered the wall-facing space again and began to improve the spell.

Harry has been holding a pile of books listed by Dumbledore and chewing on them these days. He looks very much like the little girl Hermione. The little wizard's eyes seem to have lost their sparkle. Whenever he sees his friends playing around,

They would always show pitiful and resentful expressions, but Hermione was always comforted and still had time to read these books with Harry, and sometimes Daphne would join him.

Owen's first thought was to use part of his own soul as a carrier, but this would be difficult to achieve unless he split his own soul. Although he had recently learned some information about Horcruxes from several dark magic books in Ravenclaw.

How to make it, but splitting the soul for such a thing is completely putting the cart before the horse.

The first experiment was naturally the initial version of Ravenclaw. Amidst the complex and difficult-to-speak spells, Owen felt that his thoughts were divided and his emotions were stripped away. The malice that always lingered in his heart was like a magnet.

sucked away, completely shrunk and sequestered somewhere in the brain, along with all good intentions.

Owen experienced a feeling of absolute sanity. His brain seemed to have turned into a cold machine, operating more smoothly and clearly, as if a large part of the memory had been liberated. He flew briskly. In this state, he made

All decisions are based on their own goals and interests, and they are indifferent to everything else. While their efficiency is greatly improved, they can also ignore everything without emotion.

"I almost couldn't stand it after only maintaining it for such a short period of time. No wonder Ravenclaw fell ill immediately after being released from the state of absolute sanity..." Owen stuffed chocolate into his mouth tiredly, feeling the bitterness in it.

The sweet aroma melts in your mouth, a warm current slightly dispels the coldness in your body and mind, and you exhale gently.

Although Peeves still made Quirrell a little embarrassed, seeing Professor Quirrell who worked so hard to change himself suffer such excessive pranks every day, a group of little witches overflowing with sympathy became angry.

Owen was happy to watch the show, and Voldemort had not lost his patience, so he delayed it as a matter of course. He actually had a lot of troubles of his own. During these days, he spent these days in the wall space intensively absorbing knowledge and studying Ravenclaw seriously.

I have almost mastered the mind separation magic left behind recently.

Owen shook his head, went to the hall through several hidden shortcuts, entered the stairs leading to the basement, and found a painting in a brightly lit stone corridor. He raised his hand and scratched a pear in the painting.

I heard it chuckle and then turned into a green doorknob.

The first snow of the year has covered Hogwarts. The grounds outside the castle are covered with several feet of snow, and the lake is covered with hard ice.

Especially when they saw that Quirrell's face was getting paler and his body seemed to be getting weaker, these little witches took action spontaneously to protect Professor Quirrell, as if they had established a Quirrell Protection Association.

He closed the lid of the suitcase heavily, used a cleaning spell to clean himself, and then walked out of the side door with Melete, who was meowing and screaming for hunger, and stood in a corridor on the eighth floor of the castle. In order to keep it secret, he had already

So I moved my studio to the Room of Requirement.

Melete let out a low growl. If Owen hadn't held her tightly, the increasingly irritable kitten Nizi would have rushed over to beat the cat.

On this day, Owen crawled out of his traceless stretching box in disgrace. His hair and clothes, which were always clean and tidy, were covered in dust, which made Melete next to him sneeze all the time.

To occupy this empty shell, what is needed is the soul rather than the mind, but how to make those evil thoughts have the characteristics of the soul?

Hagrid, however, was quite vigilant about this matter. Once this issue was brought up, he would change the subject loudly, making Harry anxious, as if he was the one ordered by the Dark Lord to inquire about the information.

Use the newly born evil thoughts as the target of isolation, and use your own original malice as a bridge to connect with the dark guard who is closely related to your own personality and emotions. Next, you only need to transfer the new evil thoughts to the innate black guard.

In an empty shell, you can eliminate two hidden dangers in yourself at the same time.

After many improvements and attempts, he finally rejected this direction. The idea of ​​dividing one's own thinking is as absurd, dangerous, and stupid as dividing one's own soul.

In this absolutely rational state, he was able to use all black magic calmly, and even after using it many times, he did not feel the impact on his own mind. The overflowing and enhanced malice was attributed to that part of the isolated mind.

Among them, it does not affect the improvement of the power of black magic. If oneself did not lose all emotions, this state would undoubtedly be very ideal.

He instead decided to completely separate the dark side of himself and find a way to transplant it to other places, such as placing it in the Dark Guard. He successfully created a new spell and tried it on himself.

After experiencing severe pain that seemed to cut his brain in half, Owen's thoughts completely fell into a frenzy, and he almost turned himself into a madman.

The process of improvement was difficult and dangerous. Owen worked hard day and night, and gradually found the direction after repeated failed attempts.

"What an unexpected development." Owen shook his head in amusement, watching Professor McGonagall angrily run over and confine the Weasley twins.

Owen left the wall space to refresh his state and rediscover his emotions, but the problem with his thinking was something that the wall space could not deal with. All the emotions that had been isolated before surged over in an instant, especially the chaos during his experiment.

The malice he had accumulated in using black magic suddenly burst out, causing violent bloodshot eyes to appear in his eyes, and his body trembled uncontrollably. It took him a long time to completely control himself.

The house elves all wore tea towels with the Hogwarts school emblem printed on them, and were not surprised by Melet's arrival. They respectfully and enthusiastically greeted Owen to sit down, and then a steady stream of food was delivered to the table.

Both pairs of big glass bead-like eyes sparkled with pure expectation and joy.

As for Owen...he is still too busy with his own affairs. In the eyes of many young wizards, he is becoming more and more obsessive.

Owen walked out of Professor McGonagall's office with a smile on his face, Melete standing on his shoulder. A group of kittens of different colors meowed to see him off behind him, making soft meows.

It makes people's hearts melt.

"I plan to visit Ms. Elizabeth during the Christmas vacation. Helena, are you interested in going with us?" Owen said with a smile, "I heard that there are many nightmares living in her forest, but I have never seen them before.

.”

"She actually allowed outsiders to visit her?" Ms. Gray raised her eyebrows in surprise, with a vague expression on her silver-white cheeks. "Her nightmare forest has refused outsiders to visit her for thousands of years... Well, I went there rashly.

Wouldn't that be too rude?" She looked very moved.

"No, Ms. Elizabeth is actually very happy to have someone visit." Owen shook his head funny. The shy ghost lady was not good at expressing herself. When she was short of words, she would only stare at the other person with red eyes helplessly and cooperate.

Her dull expression can easily make people feel that she is difficult to get along with, but in fact she is gentle and kind at heart.

"Then I'd be happy to come and visit." Ms. Gray showed a hazy and beautiful smile.
